Spending my family lunch gathering here was quite a surprise. Wasn't expecting the beautiful Victoria Harbour view at a Japanese restaurant. Restaurant was spacious and bright. Feels comfortable when seated. Staff were polite and efficient, diet/ coupon restriction reminders were given. Lunch menu was surprisingly in variety, covering most of the Japanese food options. As we have ordered too many food types, I would focus on my own mains. i requested their char-grilled assorted skewers & Mentaik
Lunch menu was surprisingly in variety, covering most of the Japanese food options. As we have ordered too many food types, I would focus on my own mains. i requested their char-grilled assorted skewers & Mentaiko udon set.
First came the salad. Light sauced with fresh greens. Half a cherry tomato was a bit too little. Soup was typical miso one. Nothing special. Cold spongy tofu was also served. Soaking in soba sauce. As it was absorbed all the soba sauce, it was on a salty side.
Moving on to the mains, neat and brightly served. Pretty appetising. Mentaiko udon was mixed right after cooked. It was still warmly served. Not sure if serving in cold, the noodle will be less sticky. Udon was very gluey. Mixed with the mentaiko, texture was similar to carbonara. Love the big dollop of roe. Sadly when nearly the bottom, it became thicker and thicker that was too rich and salty. Sprinkled seaweed definitely gave a hint of fishy flavour while hoping for some toasted sesame lightly sprinkle.
Four skewers were given. Pork slice rolled with asparagus, aubergine, beef skillet and ox tongue. Ox tongue was tender and grilled to perfection. Love the coarse salt on top. Beef skillet was juicy and moist. Cooked to medium rare. Aubergine was alright. Prefer to grill a bit longer for some charred and smoky flavour. Pork asparagus was nothing special. Asparagus was slight old and rough.
It also came with a scoop of ice cream which I picked black sesame. Very rich black sesame and on a sweet side. Love the nuttiness but easy to melt. A drink was also included.
Lunch menu was quite a good deal but the view was definitely worth it. Not bad.
